CINEMÂCHÉ BRANDING

CINEMÂCHÉ is a team of award-winning Adelaide filmmakers who share the singular goal of making motion pictures that are collaborative, immersive and atmospheric. They create sensory experiences that are powered by layered and lavish palettes, contrasting textures and embellished colours.

The logo I designed as part of their corporate branding is a fusion of digital noise and the stylised palette of a typically vibrant papier mâché Piñata. This allows for a rich pattern application across all stationery, web and collateral assets.

Red Fox Films branding

Red Fox Films is a boutique Adelaide film and video design studio. Their bespoke and hand-made approach to film making is reflected in their corporate branding, a watercolour fox, curiously engaging with a hovering insect.

While the logo mark is unusually detailed and complex, it was essential to convey the degree of personality and affection that Red Fox Films wanted to present to their clients. The logo lends itself warmly to micro-animations that enhance its presence on digital platforms.

Capricorn Film Festival

The key art is a pencil illustration of goats horn fused with a strip of film, in the shape of a large capital C. The 2016 festival identity is a simple thick stoke icon representing the tropic of Capricorn as it passes around a tilted earth. Its colour is inherited from the key art.

Balgedie House & Lodge

Brand design for Balgedie House & Lodge, two luxury homes in East Balgedie near Kinross, Scotland.

The icon is a clean, modern glyph, constructed from the property's twin driveway, and embellished with hints of a Celtic glyph. The horizontal stroke of the "B" functions as a main road, from which the two loops fountain out into two individual driveways.

Michael Allen Productions

Michael Allen is a South Australian theatrical entrepreneur and artistic director, managing a production company (Michael Allen Productions) that delivers both live-action and live webcast productions to South Australians and increasingly wider international audiences.

His company's logo and branding is a simple, black monogram of M and A.

Treasury 1860

Logo and brand development, based upon an original identity by Band.

Treasury 1860 is a newly rejuvenated large-scale inner-city restaurant and bar. Occupying an historic South Australian building, The Treasury Building, it's a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new. It's branding is a simple hybrid of two typefaces (a serif and a sans-serif).

Nestled in the heart of Adelaide's CBD, Treasury 1860 is giving a new lease of life to one of South Australia's most iconic buildings. The full venue refurbishments were completed in November 2017. With a food and drink menu that offers international, inter-state and local guests an up to the minute taste of South Australia, Treasury 1860 aims to introduce patrons to all the wonders that are available in our own backyard.

OUTS1DERS Logo Design

Logo design for Don Handfield and Richard Rayner (The Rift, Knightfall). The initial logo is a stark black and white icon of a front-facing astronaut, arms reaching beyond the perimeter of the brand's blackness. The logo preserves its white/black balance and is not inverted when applied to dark backgrounds. For television and other screen environments, an embellished version of the logo was produced for History's "Knightfall" that adds bright illuminations to the astronauts helmet lamps, and a bold red identifier.

Independent Theatre Branding

Independent Theatre has been enthralling Adelaide audiences with top quality theatre of dramatic significance since 1984. Its work covers the gamut of theatrical writing, from Ancient Greek tragedies to Australian and world premieres of brand new plays.

The brand needed to be simple and visible without being generic, and convey strength, sturdiness and solidarity. The red bolt locks the two sans-serif variants, providing a strong natural contrast against the logo's black and white bent. The logo has been designed to preference white canvases and backgrounds.

The red bolt is the company's main asset that can be deconstructed and applied across the its extended branding.
